Sarah practices with compassion and curiosity, striving to engage in active listening so that sessions feel dynamic. As a licensed creative arts therapist, Sarah has witnessed her clients make meaningful connections through art making when spoken words failed to fully express their felt and lived experiences. Although she is trained in art therapy, she is also able to work with clients who prefer straight talk therapy, or a combination of interventions. Her general approach is client centered, strengths based, and trauma informed. Sarah firmly believes that every individual is equipped with the ability to heal, and she is passionate about helping individuals realize their inherent strength, resilience, and worthiness.
Sarah earned a M.A. in Art Therapy from NYU and a B.A. in Studio Art and Art History from the College of Charleston. She has worked with children, adolescents and adults to improve their ability to cope with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, life transitions, relational problems, and low self-esteem. She tends to use art therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, internal family systems, supportive therapy, and mindfulness as interventions.
